Proxy API settings
Proxy API Settings in Garoon is a feature that can be optionally used when using JavaScript customization.
By using the proxy API settings, you can send requests to external services from the JavaScript that you use for customization.
Points to Check before Setting Proxy API
We recommend that you use the Garoon proxy API settings after you have prepared the JavaScript file for customization.
JavaScript customization is available in Garoon general screens or in the following applications.
- Portal HTML portlet
- Scheduler
- Messages
- Workflow
Before you customize them, be sure to check the precautions.
For details on the precautions for customization, refer to Points to Check before Customization.
